can not find connection string

[Guest]

I am working on a .net app that someone else wrote and a portion of it is
getting data from an incorrect datasource. When I search the entire project
with the name of the incorrect datasource it does not find anything. Just
wondering if anyone had any suggestions, thanks.

(a) check the web.config
(b) Make sure you are searching hidden sections.

it's possible that they are drag'n'dropping their controls and all that
logic is coded in some auto-generated section in a region. Are you
searching via vs.net? it has options to search hidden sections, and make
sure you grab all extensions *.*
